When I arrived at the farm on Saturday, Debbie was just finishing preparations for lunch. I caught her in the kitchen window, peeling and slicing onions.
The hands needed a hearty lunch and Debbie was cooking up a great big skillet of fried potatoes and onions.
The wood stove was plenty hot and the skillet saw constant motion to keep everything from burning.
When the potatoes and onions were just about finished, Debbie scrambled up some eggs and added them to the skillet. In the oven they went until the hands arrived for lunch.
The meal also included pickled beets, pickled green beans, corn relish, and for desert, brandied cherries. When the men went back to work, there wasn't a whole lot left to put away. The table looked like locusts had had there way with the meal.
Fried potatoes and onions – such good memories of Granny this morning. She made the very best. Not to mention that they were cooked in a cast iron skillet. Perfect!
Wouldn’t mind trying the brandied cherries.
Besides that, I liked the pictorial.
